Oh, I don't quite remember the details, but I think libvirt also gets
a bit confused when its 32bit and the kernel is 64.
Another data-point is that I've used and developed on other 32/64
x86-64 systems for a number of years and those manage it just fine.
It really shouldn't be hard, if you decide its worth supporting.
